Analgesic efficacy of ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric, transversus abdominis plane, and quadratus lumborum blocks in inguinal hernia surgery: A prospective randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in The Journal of international medical research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
ObjectiveThis study compared the efficacy of ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric, transversus abdominis plane, and quadratus lumborum blocks as adjuncts to spinal anesthesia for postoperative pain management in unilateral inguinal hernia repair.MethodsThis study was a prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blind study. Eighty patients were randomized into four groups: (a) ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric block group; (b) transversus abdominis plane block group; (c) quadratus lumborum block; and (d) control group. Postoperative pain was assessed using the visual analog scale at rest and during movement over 24 h. Total tramadol consumption via patient-controlled analgesia, supplemental paracetamol use, and opioid-related adverse effects were recorded.ResultsNo statistically significant differences were found in visual analog scale scores among the groups at any time point (
